Care and maintenance
General information
Cleaning
During average length vacations, you will probably find it best to leave the refrigerator
in operation. Place freezable items in freezer for longer life.
When you plan not to operate, remove all food, disconnect the power cord, clean the
interior thoroughly, and leave each door OPEN to prevent odor formation.Vacation time
Power failure
If you move
Anti
condensation
pipe
Most power failures that are corrected in an hour or two will not affect your
refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should minimize the number of door openings while the power is off.
Remove or securely fasten down all loose items inside the refrigerator.
To avoid damaging the height adjusting screws, turn them all the way into the base.
The outside wall of the refrigerator cabinet may sometimes get warm, especially just
after installation.
Don’t be alarmed. This is due to the anti-condensation pipe, which pumps hot
refrigerator to prevent “sweating” on the outer cabinet wall.
Regular cleaning is recommended. Wash all compartments a baking soda solution or a
mild detergent and warm water. Rinse and dry.
Please verify that the power cord is not damaged, power plug is not overheated, or
power plug is well inserted into the power consent.
Always remove power cord from the wall outlet prior to cleaning in the vicinity of
electrical parts (lamps, switches, controls, etc.).
Wipe up excess moisture with a sponge or cloth to prevent water or liquid from
getting into any electrical part and causing an electric shock.
Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, coarse abrasive cleaners, strong alkaline
solutions, flammable or toxic cleaning liquids on any surface.
Do not touch frozen surfaces with wet or damp hands, because damp object will stick
or adhere to extremely cold surfaces. It is important that your refrigerator be kept clean to prevent undesirable odors. Spilled
food should be wiped up immediately, since it may acidify and stain plastic surfaces if
allowed to settle.
Use a lukewarm solution of mild soap or detergent to clean the durable finish of your
refrigerator.
Wipe with a clean damp cloth and then dry.

Refrigerator control is off.
Refrigerator is in defrost cycle.
Plug at wall outlet is disconnected.
Power outage. Check house lights.
Refrigerator is larger than the previous
one you owned.
Room or outside weather is hot.
Refrigerator has recently been
disconnected for a period of time.
Large amounts of warm or hot food
may have been stored recently.
Doors are opened too frequently or too
long. 
Refrigerator or freezer door may be
slightly open.
Refrigerator control is set too cold.
Refrigerator or freezer gasket is dirty,
worn, cracked, or poorly fitted.
Thermostat is keeping the refrigerator
at a constant temperature.
Solution
Set refrigerator control. See setting the
controls. 
This is normal for a fully automatic
defrosting refrigerator. The defrost
cycle occurs periodically.
Make sure plug is tightly pushed into
outlet.
Call local electric company.
This is normal. Larger, more efficient
units run longer in these conditions. 
It is normal for the refrigerator to work
longer under these conditions.
It takes some hours for the refrigerator
to cool down completely.
Warm food will cause the refrigerator to
run longeruntil the desired temperature
is reached.
Warm air entering the refrigerator
causes it to run longer. Open the door
less often. 
Make sure the refrigerator is level.
Keep food and containers from
blocking door. See problem section.
OPENING/CLOSING of doors. 
Set the refrigerator control to a
warmer setting until the refrigerator
temperature is satisfactory.
Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the
door seal will cause refrigerator to run
longer in order to maintain desired
temperatures.
This is normal. Refrigerator goes on and
off to keep the temperature constant.

and off to keep the temperature constant.
Set the refrigerator control to a colder
setting. A refrigerator requires some hours to
cool down completely. Wait until the refrigerator or freezer
has a chance to reach its selected 
temperature. Warm air enters the refrigerator/ freezer
whenever the door is opened.
Open the door less often. Set the freezer or refrigerator control to a
colder  setting until the freezer or
refrigerator temperature is satisfactory.  Set the freezer or refrigerator control to
a colder setting until the freezer or
refrigerator temperature is satisfactory. It is normal for ice crystals to form due
to the moisture content of meat. Set the refrigerator control to a
warmer setting
See above solution. Set the freezer control to a warmer
setting until the freezer temperature is
satisfactory.
Close the door completely.
Temperature in the
refrigerator is too
cold and the

during the start of the ON cycle.
Items placed on the  top of the refrigerator 
are vibrating.
Dishes are vibrating on the shelves in
the refrigerator.
Solution
